1. ANAS: Automated Newspaper Article Summarizer

Description: Limited to online World News text articles only, this
summarizer utilizes the algorithms presented by R. Barzilay and M.
Elhadad in their paper Using Lexical Chains for Text Summarization
(1997). The techniques and methods they primarily used are Text
Segmentation, Lexical Chains Computation and Sentence Selection and
Extraction. The summarizer also uses the WordNet Lexical Database as its
knowledgebase for word sense disambiguation and a Part-of-Speech Tagging
Algorithm for the selection of candidate words from the input text. The
algorithms used are based on shallow Linguistic Analysis Approach, which
doesn't require a full semantic interpretation of the texts to produce
its summary.

2. ACACia: ACACia Technical Helpdesk

Description: The ACACia Technical Helpdesk is a Java(TM)-based
peer-to-peer application that would facilitate a user (help request) -
peer/expert (feedback) mechanism. Each client's database would grow with
information from other peers in the P2P network. Likewise, the client's
database would also be made available to other peers. This would then
produce redundancy of information, increasing its availability and the
speed of the search system.

7. More on mozilla plugins : 09:48

http://www.privoxy.org/ is a good solution. It's the following of
junkbuster. You can disable a plugin by default, and you can re-enable
them site by site. Since it will change the HTML code embedding the
flash file, so more messages about a missing plugin. Also, I think more recent
versions of mozilla have a switch for that, and maybe some prefs.js
editing could do it on 1.0.
